Section 327IAC8-2.5-14. Reduced monitoring; stage 2 disinfection byproducts requirements
-
(a) A PWS may reduce monitoring for stage 2 disinfection byproducts to the monitoring frequency specified in the following table if the following are met:
(1) The following analytical results:
(A) The LRAA is:
(i) less than or equal to forty-thousandths (0.040) milligrams per liter (mg/L) for TTHM; and
(ii) less than or equal to thirty-thousandths (0.030) mg/L for HAA5;
at all monitoring locations.
(B) The source water annual average TOC level before any treatment must be less than or equal to four and zero-tenths (4.0) mg/L at each treatment plant treating:
(i) surface water; or
(ii) ground water under the direct influence of surface water;
based on monitoring conducted under either section 6(b)(1)(C) or 6(d) of this rule.
(2) Only data results collected under sections 11 through 13 of this rule, this section, and sections 15 through 18 of this rule may be used to qualify for reduced monitoring.
(3) The reduced monitoring frequency levels and location requirements are specified by system size in Table 14 as follows:

1Systems on quarterly monitoring must take dual sample sets every ninety (90) days.
(b) A PWS may remain on reduced monitoring if the following requirements, as applicable, are met:
(1) A PWS monitoring quarterly may remain on reduced monitoring as long as the:
(A) TTHM LRAA remains less than or equal to forty-thousandths (0.040) mg/L; and
(B) HAA5 LRAA remains less than or equal to thirty-thousandths (0.030) mg/L;
at each monitoring location.
(2) A PWS monitoring annually or every third year may remain on reduced monitoring if each:
(A) TTHM result is less than or equal to sixty-thousandths (0.060) mg/L; and
(B) HAA5 sample is less than or equal to forty-five thousandths (0.045) mg/L.
(3) The source water annual average TOC level, before any treatment, must be less than or equal to four and zero-tenths (4.0) mg/L at each treatment plant treating:
(A) surface water; or
(B) ground water under the direct influence of surface water;
based on monitoring conducted under either section 6(b)(1)(C) or 6(d) of this rule.
(c) A PWS shall cease reduced monitoring and resume routine monitoring under section 12 of this rule or begin increased monitoring under section 16 of this rule if one (1) or more of the following occurs:
(1) The LRAA based on quarterly monitoring at any monitoring location exceeds either:
(A) forty-thousandths (0.040) mg/L for TTHM; or
(B) thirty-thousandths (0.030) mg/L for HAA5.
(2) The annual or once every third year sample at any location exceeds either:
(A) sixty-thousandths (0.060) mg/L for TTHM; or
(B) forty-five thousandths (0.045) mg/L for HAA5.
(3) The source water annual average TOC level, before any treatment, is greater than four and zero-tenths (4.0) mg/L at any treatment plant treating:
